Offering lightweight reliable protection from the elements the arc teryx men s beta lt jacket is a great choice for all your alpine adventures.
There is a women s version of the same name and it s exactly the same except for fit and color.
If you aren t expecting to experience any wet weather then cerium lt men s women s read my review can be a good alternat ive.
Instead consider the hiking specific zeta jackets.
Arc teryx currently offers the beta sl a non hybrid version but it is being phased out.
The arc teryx zeta lt is a lightweight 3 layer rain jacket built with the uber comfortable gore tex c knit backer.
For high output activities absolutely proton lt men s women s read my review along with beta ar it s one of my 2 arc teryx favorites.

It adds just enough versatility and durability to the simpler lighter non hybrid sl making it a phenomenally lightweight and fully featured.
Whether you re hitting the skintrack hard to maximize your pre work powder laps or ascending a storm battered peak the gore tex pro fabric keeps you dry through the wettest weather while offering exceptional breathability so you don t overheat.
The beta lt s pockets are large and sit high enough to rest above the waist belt on a pack or harness.
The arc teryx women s beta lt jacket is one that you will reach for season in and season out whether you re bagging peaks in the summer or hitting the skintrack come winter.
Its lightweight gore tex pro fabric keeps you dry through the heaviest downpours while remaining breathable enough for summer alpine.
They have opted for a dual fabric design that takes the durability and 3 layer components of a more advanced shell and upgraded the beta sl to the new.
The beta sl hybrid from arc teryx is arguably one of the most useful and well made hardshell jackets we have tested.
At 10 9 ounces for my women s small arc teryx lists it at 10 6 oz it s the lightest jacket in the beta lineup by a good margin the beta sv is 15 5 ounces the ar is 13 4 ounces and the lt is 11 1 ounces.
The main difference between the beta and alpha series is that this jacket features double handwarmer pockets instead of chest pockets.
